Postdischarge Nurse Home Visits and Reuse: the Hospital to Home Outcomes (H2O) Trial.
In this study, the investigators evaluated the effects of a pediatric transition intervention, specifically a single nurse home visit, on postdischarge outcomes in a randomized controlled trial. The investigators concluded that children randomly assigned to the intervention had higher rates of 30-day postdischarge unplanned health care reuse. They also noted that parents in the intervention group recalled more clinical warning signs 2 weeks after discharge.
